FEMS brings together 52 member societies from 36 European countries, including around thirty thousand microbiologists. FEMS’ vision is to promote excellence in, and maximize the impact of, scientific knowledge and innovation in microbiology globally. This important microbiology congress provides an interesting forum to appreciate the current state of the art in microbiology, during numerous symposia and workshops, led by prominent scientists in their field. The congress provides a platform to discuss solutions to future challenges and to provide topical coverage of key disciplines. Special attention has been given to early career scientists by providing an important number of grants, assisting them to attend the congress. Maastricht, a city of both culture and education has a rich history and compelling mix of old world charm and modern exuberance. We hope you enjoy the congress and your time in Maastricht. Best wishes, Jean-Claude Piffaretti Chairperson, Program Committee / FEMS President Han Wösten Chairperson, Congress Organizing Board Stanley Brul Co-Chairperson, Congress Organizing Board Per-Eric Lindgren Co-Chairperson, Meetings Board 02 Maastricht, The Netherlands June 7-11, 2015 ABOUT FEMS І CONGRESS INFORMATION ABOUT FEMS FEMS is a federation of microbiological societies in Europe. It brings together 52 member societies from 36 European countries, covering around thirty thousand microbiologists. Members can apply for fellowships, grants and/or support when organizing a meeting. FEMS facilitates exchange of scientific knowledge to all microbiologists in Europe and worldwide by publishing five microbiology journals and organizing a biennial congress for microbiologists around the world. It also initiates campaigns such as the European Academy of Microbiology (EAM) and the European Microbiology Forum (EMF). Vision: Microorganisms play an essential role in humans, animals, plants, the environment and industrial processes, and impact significantly on health, the economy, food supply, and ecosystems. Scientific knowledge of microorganisms and their interactions in the biosphere is essential for informed decision and policy making, improved health and wellbeing, wealth generation and environmental quality and sustainability. FEMS’ vision is to coordinate and lead the acquisition of scientific knowledge and innovation in microbiology and to maximise communication of this knowledge, and its importance, to scientists, politicians, policy makers, industry and the general public. Mission: FEMS aims at advancing microbiology in Europe and the neighboring regions through grants, publication of internationally renowned journals, news items, congresses, teaching support, and additional initiatives that fulfil its Vision.
